摘要
Carrier escape from InP/AlGaAs single quantum well structures is studied by means of simultaneous steady state photocurrent and photoluminescence measurements. The activation energy for escape is measured for the first time in this system. The photoluminescence from the InGaAs wells indicates that a significant number of carriers do not escape at room temperature thus affecting the temperature dependence of the cell. An estimate of the nonradiative efficiency of the device studied is given as a function of bias and temperature. The relevance to new applications is discussed.
